                          ANOTHER LOST SUMMER

  (Mr. CONNOLLY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CONNOLLY. Mr. Speaker, the Republican House is about to go out 
for 5 weeks, but first, they are going to sue the President and hope 
that we don't pay attention to the unfinished business of this country. 
I only have 1 minute, so I am going to have to read it fast.
  Let me list for you some of the bills they are not going to address: 
comprehensive immigration reform, propping up the highway trust fund, 
funding the Federal Government, reauthorizing the Ex-Im Bank, providing 
additional resources to fight wildfires in the West, bipartisan Federal 
IT procurement reform, raising the minimum wage, extending emergency 
unemployment insurance, reauthorizing terrorism risk insurance, 
comprehensive tax reform, modernizing the Voting Rights Amendment Act, 
and ensuring equal pay and nondiscrimination of the workplace.
  I have run out of time, but our constituents have run out of patience 
with this majority.
